A filing made by Trump's attorneys has begun to circulate on Thursday, detailing a motion for Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss his election subversion indictment in D.C. altogether, on the basis that he's "absolutely immune from prosecution because his alleged criminal conduct was part of his presidential duties," per reporting from CNBC.
In the 52-page document, his legal team makes a big swing, asking the judge "to recall a 1982 Supreme Court finding that stated that former President Richard Nixon had immunity from civil damages during his time in office and apply it to Trump's criminal charges," as The Daily Beast highlights in their own coverage of the motion.
